I think Clark once mentioned to me that cork grease is made of sheep
tallow (solid fat). If somebody wanted to use it as a lip balm, I can't
imagine it being toxic or harmful. Much like collagen (used in lip
enhancement procedures), the tallow would probably just be absorbed
naturally into the body's tissues.
